The best AI writing environment if long-form drafting is your job: inline prompts, version history, no bloat. Overkill if you just need occasional paragraph help.
Known limitations
- A subscription on top of what ChatGPT Canvas partially does free.
- Far smaller feature set than Notion or Google Docs.
- Mobile experience is thin.
